Licensing & Compliance

On January 1st, 2018, the Department of Taxation will begin accepting applications pursuant to the framework of the adopted Chapter 453D, Regulation and Taxation of Marijuana. All applications will require a one-time fee of $5,000, with potential annual and renewal fees outlined by 453D.230 and dependent upon the type of marijuana facility. Section 453.D200 establishes the Duties of the Department to adopt regulations necessary to guide Nevada’s adult use market and sales, including licensing, testing, taxes, and fees, though those specific regulations have not yet been determined. Chapter 453D further establishes parameters for compliance, and penalties both monetary and criminal for certain violations.
